About this item

‘Bloom Forever’ is Thomas Cohen’s debut solo release and is released by Stolen Recordings.

Thomas Cohen was previously frontman of the band S.C.U.M., who released one exquisite album, ‘Again Into Eyes’, in 2011. Just 21-years-old when they split, Cohen’s life soon presented him with a different set of subjects to draw from. While his band may have broken up, his marriage and the birth of his two sons gave his subsequent songwriting a newfound focus and clarity.

Inspired by the works of singer-songwriters such as Townes Van Zandt, Judee Sill, Van Morrison and Jim Sullivan, his forthcoming album, of which this single is the title track, is a chronologically ordered document of the songs Cohen wrote between 2012 and 2015.

‘Bloom Forever’ recounts the birth of his second son with touching emotional honesty and a refreshing lack of sentimentality. “I wrote the lyrics in the hospital on the day he was born,” recalls Cohen.
